Art style: Studio Ghibli. A bright, sun-drenched corner of the cottage as dawn begins to break through the window. Sarah holds an old, framed photograph in her hands, her face lit with a radiant smile. The photograph shows a young couple in vintage attire. The mood is one of pure joy and relief. The color palette shifts to bright, optimistic tones of gold, white, and soft greens. Elias is visible in the background, fading into the morning light with a satisfied smile. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image in the following art style: Studio Ghibli hand-painted 2D anime (Hayao Miyazaki look) — lush hand-painted backgrounds, soft watercolour-and-gouache textures, gentle pastel palette, warm natural daylight, clean confident line work, cel-shaded characters with simple expressive features. CRITICAL: EVERY element — characters, foliage, trees, animals, sky and the entire environment — must be rendered in this single consistent hand-painted Ghibli idiom. Do NOT mix in photorealism or 3D CGI; keep one cohesive 2D painted look across the whole frame. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Sarah: A woman in her late 70s with a gentle, weathered face and a network of fine wrinkles. Her long, silver-white hair is pulled back into a soft, loose bun. She wears a warm, thick-knit shawl in deep forest green over a simple, patterned lavender dress. Her eyes are a soft grey, clouded with a touch of melancholy. She sits in a cozy, dimly lit room filled with antiques and books. The lighting is warm and amber-toned, coming from a nearby fireplace, casting soft shadows that accentuate her delicate features and her small, fragile frame.
